Set registration marks and barcode in Fiery Impose

Your imposed layout can include a registration mark, a barcode, or both. These options allow automatic drift compensation and machine setup for the Duplo offline finisher.

The registration mark position determines the leading edge of the sheet, as the Duplo finisher requires the mark to be on the right of the leading edge of the upper surface of the sheet.

  2. Click one of the following in the Device type field:
